Happy Earth Day!

Hmmm, how shall I spend Earth Day? I am going to begin celebrating by sleeping past 7:30am. I wish I could tell you I was doing something really extraordinary but alas I have work (play) to do in the studio. Naturally, I will tend my little Earth Box gardens in the morning and then we have guests coming for dinner later this evening, (oh gosh - I guess I have to add dusting to my list) but in the studio today I am going to have the pleasure of playing with some luscious new felt that arrived from National Nonwovens (the makers of WoolFelt™) the other day. It's a new eco-friendly felt named XoticFelt™ and is made with Bamboo and rayon fibers! Bamboo is a very earth friendly resource. It is very fast growing, requires no pesticides, and has natural anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. It is a highly renewable and sustainable grass. I wish you could feel it. It is so silky and soft I can't wait to get playing with it tomorrow. They've asked me to make something for their booth for Spring Quilt Market and they sent such fabulous colors to work with. This is going to be fun, I'll let you know how it goes.So what do you have planned for Earth Day?

Welcome to my blog

If this is your first visit to my blog, or a return visit, thank you for spending some time here. This is my blog written by me, no ghost authors here but I'm sure that is evident as my grammar will not pass muster with any English majors (or minors for that matter) but I will do my best to share interesting and even mundane aspects of my life as a quilter and quilt pattern designer. Into that mix I will be adding my attempts at gardening, being organized - HA , boosting creativity, and other everyday happenings. I should warn you in advance - I am a recovering procrastinator! So don't expect me to post daily, (won't happen) but I will try to surprise you with frequent postings.

About Me

My life as a quilt designer and optimistic pollyanna, revolves around my husband, home, family, friends, faith and of course quilts. Though the order may change from time to time as it does in everyone's life, the importance of them all, does not.
